Includes more than 30 percent revised material and five new chapters, covering the new 2.1 features such as EJB Timer Service and JMS as well as the latest open source Java solutions The book was developed as part of TheServerSide.com online EJB community, ensuring a built-in audience Demonstrates how to build an EJB system, program with EJB, adopt best practices, and harness advanced EJB concepts and techniques, including transactions, persistence, clustering, integration, and performance optimization Offers practical guidance on when not to use EJB and how to use simpler, less costly open source technologies in place of or in conjunction with EJB

Special Edition Using EJB 2.0starts with a description of how EJB fits into the big picture of J2EE development, then covers such topics as: Locating EJB's using JNDI Managing data with EJB Query Language Building JMS applications using the new Message-driven Bean Planning EJB applications using design patterns Later chapters describe advanced development topics including interoperability, horizontal services and clustering. Throughout the book, the authors construct a component-based auction web site using the J2EE architecture as a practical example.

This third edition explains the underlying technology, Java classes and interfaces, component model, and runtime behavior of Enterprise JavaBeans. In addition, the book contains an architecture overview, information on resource management and primary services, design strategies, and XML deployment descriptors.

Build powerful back-end business logic and complex Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)-based applications using Java EE 8, Eclipse Enterprise for Java (EE4J), Web Tools Project (WTP), and the Microprofile platform. Targeted at Java and Java EE developers, with or without prior EJB experience, this book is packed with practical insights, strategy tips, and code examples. As each chapter unfolds, you'll see how you can apply the new EJB spec to your own applications through specific examples. Beginning EJB in Java EE 8 serves not only as a reference, but also as a how-to guide and repository of practical examples to which you can refer as you build your own applications. It will help you harness the power of EJBs and take your Java EE 8 development to the next level. You'll gain the knowledge and skills you’ll need to create the complex enterprise applications that run today's transactions and more. What You'll Learn Build applications with Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) in the new Java EE 8 platform Discover when to use EJBs over contexts and dependency injection Use message-driven beans to do tasks asynchronously Integrate EJBs with microservices using the new Eclipse Microprofile project Manage complex enterprise transactions and much more Who This Book Is For Java programmers new to enterprise development and for those who may have experience with EJBs but are new to Java EE 8, EE4J, and related Eclipse projects.

This title provides advanced, in depth coverage of Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) applications. It presents the EJB architecture from the point of view of the person developing EJB applications.

Although EJB applications themselves are portable, the manner in which developers install and run EJB products varies widely from one vendor to the next. The goal of this WebLogic workbook is to discuss vendor specific requirements and best practices and introduce tools like the WebLogic Administration Console, all in the contest of building and running the example programs for O'Reilly's Enterprise JavaBeans, 3rd edition. The Workbook guides you step-by-step, explaining how to build and deploy working solutions in a particular application server, and provides useful hints, tips and warnings. This WebLogic 6.1 Workbook was originally published by Enterprise JavaBeans author Richard Monson-Haefel's Titan Books publishing company. O'Reilly thought so highly of it, we bought the rights to publish it ourselves, in order to give more developers access to this critical information.

This introduction to Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB's) discusses the component paradigm, which is the basic idea behind EJB's, covers basics and focuses on issues beyond specification.
